<h2 class="heading2">Setting Up Automatic Reply</h2>
<p class="bodytext">If you are going on vacation and will not be able to check your mail for a while, you may want to leave a vacation notice that will be automatically sent to your correspondents once they send e-mail to your address. This is done with automatic reply facility, also referred to as autoresponder. Aside from vacation notices, organizations can use automatic replies to notify customers that their orders or technical support requests were received and will soon be processed. Automatic replies can include pre-written messages in plain text or HTML format, and they can contain attached files as well.</p>
<p class="bodytext">To set up automatic reply for a mailbox:</p>
<ol class="procedurelistnumber"><li class="procedurelistnumber">On your Home page, click the domain name you need.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Mail</strong> icon.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the e-mail address, for which you wish to set up an automatic reply.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Autoresponders</strong> icon in the <strong class="specialbold">Tools</strong> group.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If you are not going to attach any files to the automatic reply, proceed to the step 6.

If you wish to automatically reply only to e-mail messages that contain specific words in the message text or subject line, select the appropriate option, and type the word combination in the input box.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber2">By default, the subject line of incoming e-mail will be inserted into the automated reply. To use a custom subject, type it into the <strong class="specialbold">Reply</strong> subject input box.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber2">As your correspondents may not figure out that the message they received from you was an automatic response, they may want to respond to your auto-reply. So, you should specify your e-mail address as the <strong class="specialbold">Return address</strong>, otherwise, their messages will be directed at the autoresponder's address.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber2">Specify the automatic reply message format (<strong class="specialbold">plain text</strong> or <strong class="specialbold">HTML</strong>) and character encoding (<strong class="specialbold">UTF-8</strong> is recommended). If you use HTML tags in your auto-reply message, you should select the <strong class="specialbold">HTML</strong> option.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber2">Type your message in the <strong class="specialbold">Reply with text</strong> field.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber2">Attach your files, if needed.
